Killinane HouseHouse · 125 ydExplorer Tom Killinane House is flexing its bowed ends like it’s showing off at a gym in 1765. The name sounds like it means 'kill the neigh' but I bet it just meant 'lots of cows'. Give it a pat on the way past, it's had a long life.
culm crusher332 ydExplorer Tom This Culm crusher in Closutton moved house in 1982 because its old spot was too boring. Go on a wet day, it suits the mood. It’s basically a fancy paperweight that used to grind rocks for fun.
Church, GraveyardChurch · 1.1 miExplorer Tom Church, Graveyard in Ballyknockan used to be a thing, now it’s mostly a suggestion of a thing. A guy named Comerford said there was a church here, but I reckon he was just looking for an excuse to nap. Ring your granny and tell her where you are.
Lock Keeper's House and Lodge MillsVisitor information · 1.1 miExplorer Tom The Lock Keeper's House and Lodge Mills in County Carlow showcase the River Barrow’s 18th-century industrial legacy.
Black Castle (in ruins)Castle, tower house · 1.4 miExplorer Tom Black Castle was built to defend the bridge in 1320, so it’s seen some proper traffic over the years. I bet it smells like old stone and regret. Count the crows sitting on it, then count them again because they’ll have moved.
The Columban WayVisitor information · 1.5 miExplorer Tom The Columban Way in Bagenalstown, County Carlow, marks a key point on this historic route through the Irish countryside.
Church (in ruins), GraveyardChurch · 1.5 miExplorer Tom Church, Graveyard in Wells is playing hard to get. It’s been there since 1262 but acts like it invented privacy recently. Pick a stone, any stone, and invent its biography.
Grave YardGraveyard · 1.5 miExplorer Tom Graveyard in Wells has a church in the corner and a road that hates it. It thinks the road is too loud and full of itself. Bring your nan, she'll know more than me.
Sweet Chestnut1.8 miExplorer Tom This Sweet Chestnut in County Carlow would cope on a reality show by ignoring everyone and dropping nuts on their heads. It's the ultimate passive-aggressive housemate. Sit on a wall near it and pretend you're in a painting, you'll look deep.
Dunleckny HouseCastle, unclassified · 1.9 miExplorer Tom Dunleckny House in Carlow was described as a castle and a house, which is a bit of a lie. It’s got a history of being called different things. Whisper a secret at it, it's kept worse ones for centuries.
Cathedral2.2 miExplorer Tom Cathedral in Oldleighlin has a low crossing tower that looks like it lost an argument with a tree. Bring a camera and your most suspicious face, you never know who’s watching from the chancel.
Common Lime2.6 miExplorer Tom Another Common Lime tree, but this one is definitely trying to impress its neighbours with its leafy hair. A goat once ruled this place and declared it the capital of napping. Toast it with a cup of tea and move on to the next adventure quickly.
